Natalie MacMaster - Anniversary Waltz

[@satterlybutte]

32 years today. We danced around the fire. Thank you.

Both are wonderful musicians. I've seen her twice at the Univ. of Buffalo, and will be seeing her again there in February. I will not miss her when she is in town. She is simply fabulous.

Today is July 15, 2011. We have been friends for one year today. It's been a fun roller coaster ride and I've loved every minute of it. Happy Anniversary Bon Ami. Please enjoy this lovely video.

Just saw these three (Erin) along with Natalie's pianist. All of them dance and play beautifully. Hearing them play this last night was amazing. Best of luck to them all. Erin is an incredible pianist. If I weren't looking at her, I'd say she has forty fingers instead of ten.

My parents danced to this song on their wedding night in 1948. I danced to it at my wedding (by Al Jolson) in 1992. Love this version!

@morigue The Anniversary Waltz was indeed written by Dave Franklin and Al Dubin and is often confused with The Anniversary Song which is what is played in this video. The Anniversary song was derived from the Waves of the Danube which as TessaKPK rightly states, was written by Iosif Ivanovici. Al Jolson and Saul Chaplin published it in 1946 under the name of "The Anniversary Song" ("Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed") and as their own composition.

@pastore0506 Incidentally, I never tire of listening to this rendition of The Anniversary Song :)

[@rohinvil1]

I always thought it was the anniversary waltz. It was extensively used by Raj Kapoor in Barsaat-1950 and became the signature tune of all R.K. Films thereafter. In fact the company logo is the modernistic representation of Raj holding a violin in one hand and Nargis draped over the other.

bagus sekali ! matur suksma

[@pastore0506]

A great performance. However, this tune is not the Anniversary Waltz which, as you correctly stated, was written by Dave Franklin & Al Dubin. It is the Anniversary Song which was written by Al Jolson & Saul Chaplin and recorded by Al Jolson in 1946. Both songs can be heard on You Tube.

[@meradu2]

Nice

[@solowinterwolf]

The "Anniversary Song," played here, is an adaptation by Al Jolson of "Waves of the Danube" by Ivanovici (who, by the way, was Romanian). Up in Cape Breton, they are nothing if not eclectic. The "Anniversary Waltz" is, as previously noted, another song entirely, but if these very fine fiddlers want to exchange the titles, that's okay with me . . .

Cloging

Country cloginmg

[@JustFiddler]

i see

[@dpongsree]

Agree to your suggestion. This one is Anniversary Song NOT Anniversary Waltz (Waves of Danubes).

[@ais312]

I have piano sheet music for this - composer is J. Ivanovici - no reference on my version that refers to it being called anything other than Waves of the Danube...

[@daylmaz]

ais312 same

[@latter678]

Thx man almost confused them.

[@rader304]

Pragtig:))

[@lordofthechimie]

@justgeorge121 This is waltz (3 / 4). also you can say song. it's true.

[@pastore0506]

I forgot to mention that I thought the cello also sounded great. Does anyone know if this lady does any solo work on any other videos?

[@latter678]

Wait i cant find the original version on KZbin.

[@fastcommodore304]

where is the orginal 1941 by Dave Franklin I cant find it anywhere

[@sajreth2]

This IS the anniversary walz....albeit a bit slower than most.....but this version would make Ilyiavich (sp?) proud!

[@spawn302]

Really? Take me there! :D Would love to hear this song. :3 Even if it's by a ghost. cx

[@romanchomenko2912]

There's history to this waltz the melody is Serbian not Jewish, because Joseph Ivanowitz was a Serb he composed the melody to his at the time girlfriend.

[@wwnixon]

The tune itself is a lot older than "41

[@joshyfreland1484]

NIGGA DIS SHIT IS OFF DA CHAIN!

[@pcally1]

I first heard about this song on Ghost Adventures that a devil would play this song on a jukebox that was unplugged and didn't have this song on there. I was curious to find out what the song sounded like then I found these people who have amazing talent. Better than Justin Bieber's fake autotuned gay voice. :p

[@Lotusandcedar]

I saw Natalie and Donnell at the Black Sheep Inn, Wakefield, Quebec on June 23, 2011 !!!! BTW: As pointed out by previous readers, the music here is "Waves of the Danube" written by Romanian composer Losif Ivanovici around 1880. In 1946, Al Jolson and Saul Chaplin added lyrics and called it "The Anniversary Song" (search in KZbin: Andy Williams - Anniversary Song). The song written by Dave Franklin & Al Dubin is different. (search in KZbin: Connie Francis - Anniversary Waltz) Thanks

Wikipedia: "Waves of the Danube" is a waltz composed by Iosif Ivanovici (1845-1902) in 1880 ... In the United States, it is frequently referred to as "The Anniversary Song", a title given by Al Jolson when he and Saul Chaplin released an adaptation of the song in 1946. "The Anniversary Song" is sometimes confusingly referred to as "The Anniversary Waltz", which is actually the name of a completely unrelated song. The song is also not to be confused with "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss II.
